to stay in touch with what's happening in the Haskell world, but who don't want to be swamped with mail.

There are two electronic mailing lists to discuss issues related
to Haskell in general, and several additional mailing lists for
more detailed discussion topics, including one for each particular
implementation of Haskell.

The division of the general list was introduced for people who want
to stay in touch with what's happening in the Haskell world, but who don't want to be swamped with mail. Discussions of any kind can start on 'haskell', but should transfer to 'haskell-cafe' if they go beyond a few 'rounds'. If you are new to Haskell, please ask your first questions on the haskell-cafe list.

mail-archive.com provides an archive of all messages sent to the haskell list since March 1997. This includes messages from before the list was converted to mailman. You may search these archives: haskell archive, haskell-cafe archive.

Also, the archives of the Haskell mailing list from September 1990 until 2006, before and after the list was converted to mailman, are hosted here (and as a tar file).
Related to this is the archives of comp.lang.functional going back to 1990.

2 More specific lists

There are mailing lists for each implementation of Haskell,
and for more detailed discussion topics. Questions, comments, and bug
reports regarding a specific implementation should be sent directly
to the appropriate list instead of the entire Haskell community.
Separate topics such as documentation tools, the common FFI, and
libraries, also have a list of their own.
